Hey,

Sifting through a recent Purify session, I noticed that the function
pvm_exit() does not delete the current send buffer when it exits and
creates a leak.

Therefore is it just good practice to do a
    pvm_freebuf(pvm_getsbuf())
before a call to pvm_exit? Is this a bug or correct default behavior?
If the user is setting/using mutiple send buffers, should he take the
reponsibilty to manage them?

I guess this wouldn't really matter if your program exited out right
after this, but of course, mine contiues on.
